  • Trench on Chik-Fil-A and same sex marriage

    Once again it’s time for yours truly, the grim spectre of truth, to lay some rational thought on the knee-jerk masses. This time it’s about the uproar over Chik-Fil-A and their supposed hate crimes against same-sex couples. You know, I wasn’t planning on writing about this. It’s been beaten to the death on the media…

  • Poe Toaster no shows, fans say Nevermore

    Poe Fans Call an End to ‘Toaster’ Tradition: I’m only a passing fan of Edgar Allan Poe. Of course who doesn’t enjoy The Raven but Poe was the author of one of my favorite stories of all time, The Cask of Amontillado. What I’m more of a fan of is the tradition of the mysterious…

  • Tin foil turbans

    Apparently, there’s a new generation of conspiracy theorists. I guess all the 9/11 conspiracies are passé now. Now it’s the time of the ‘Osama Bin Laden isn’t really dead’ conspiracies. For example, a conservative legal watchdog group is suing the CIA and Defense Department for the release of the Osama Bin Laden death photos. The…

  • Osama Bin Laden dead

    Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. It was nearly 10 years ago that…

  • Local news on Japan disasters

    Due to the fact that Japan is currently dealing with the devastation of the earthquake, the tsunami, the volcano and possibly nuclear fallout a local Philadelphia newscaster said that Japan was dealing with a multi-headed monster. There’s no way that could have been said by accident.

  • Gender neutral housing at Rutgers is a bad idea

    I saw on the news the other day that Rutgers is considering ‘gender-neutral’ housing in its dorms. I believe we used to call that ‘coed’ and ‘unisex’ back in the times before political correctness. The policy that is being looked at… …is primarily designed to help gay and lesbian students who say they often have…

  • Once again Poe Toaster a no show

    And for the 2nd year in a row, I avoid the obvious cliché pun. Anyway, for the 2nd year in a row, the mysterious black-clad figure that normally would leave cognac and roses at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe in Baltimore has not appeared. Others who do not want to see the tradition die…

  • Airport Security

    There’s been a lot in the news lately about airport security. Actually, it hasn’t been just lately. It’s been talked about since 9/11 and the talk has never been good for good reason. Ever since 9/11 airport security has been nothing but reactionary. Since 9/11 was committed by terrorists with box cutters any item even resembling…

  • Poe Toaster a no show

    Nevermore? Mystery visitor misses Poe’s birthday: Notice how I avoided the cliché? Anyway, for the first time in 60 years, the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe has come and gone without a mysterious cloaked figure leaving roses and cognac at Poe’s grave in Baltimore. Not that I’m a huge fan of Poe but I was…
